  I have all the exact same symptoms with a very early positive and I only have 1 bun in the oven. Symptoms do not indicate the number of babies you are having. Also just an fyi, twins run on the father's side, not the mother's, so your distant cousin having twins doesn't affect you. 

  Incorrect.  Twins, and only fraternal twins, *may* run on the female side, but only  if the cause of twins is hyperovluation.  While your husband's mother may have the gene and have passed it to him, the only thing he could do would be to pass the gene to a daughter you would have with him, not impact your own pregnancies in any way.

  
  Off topic but I've never heard about genetics in relation to identical twins. My mother in law, her sister and her other sister's daughter all had identical twins, which I think is wild. Purely coincidence?

  I can't believe how mean and downright rude some of you women are.  I know we all have google at our fingertips but honestly, what if she just wanted some support from other pregnant women? This forum should be a place to share stories and learn from each other, and from the short time I've been on the site, I've seen so many snarky comments from women who are OBVIOUSLY experts at pregnancy and everyone else should bow down at their feet.  It really is just sickening.

  Where I come from mean and rude are the same thing.

  Yes. My grandpa is an identical twin, and he happens to have identical twin sons. The chances of that are beyond absurd. 

  
  

  And unless you slept through high school biology, there's no way you have never heard it. You failed to retain it.

  
  

  
  Well, I'm fairly confident I did in fact sleep through most of HS biology.
